Designing Initiation Materials for Promoting Autonomous Learning in Blended Learning EFL Classroom

Abstract

One of the components of Blended Learning in English Language teaching model is the development and selection of instructional materials for supporting blended learning process. Blended learning which combines the face-to-face and technology-based learning mode has potential to create learning process for autonomous language learning promotion. To build autonomous learning needs learning materials to initiate learning process called initiation material for promoting autonomous learning (IMPAL). The development of IMPAL refers to all the ways in which the learning materials are designed, selected, and implemented in scenario of blended learning model. The learning materials include the delivery methods, instructional strategies and instruction media. This paper explores some of the IMPAL development related to the enhancement of the autonomous learning in learning English to propose framework of materials for learning innitiation that can be used by any teachers for developing the learning initiation in blended learning model.
